“I know the Republicans have some unease about it, no matter what they say,” Pelosi said. “If the president can declare an emergency on something that he has created as an emergency, an illusion that he wants to convey, just think of what a president with different values can present to the American people.”

“A Democratic president can declare emergencies, as well. So the precedent that the president is setting here is something that should be met with great unease and dismay by the Republicans.”

DID YOU HEAR PELOSI UNVEIL HER FUTIRE THREAT BY STATING THAT IF TRUMP CAN DECLARE THIS EMERGENCY OVER IMMIGRATION, THAT ANOTHER DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT COULD DO THE SAME OVER GUN CONTROL..LET THEM TRY TO TAKE OUR GUNS. THAT'S WHEN THINGS WILL GET INTERESTING ! #MAGA

Democrats citing precedent as to why Trump should not declare a national emergency is a straw man. Pelosi said a Democrat could declare a "gun emergency," and then what, deny everyone their second amendment rights? Lol, sure Nancy.

Meanwhile, the people who realize that far more people have been killed by gun violence in the U.S. every year than have been killed by asylum seekers are suggesting other things in this country that are bigger national emergencies than desperate people seeking a future for their children.

If Trump uses the national emergency move I'd hope that the first progressive in office uses the precedent he sets to declare an emergency on Climate Change.

There is no emergency at the border. crossings are at the lowest levels in a decade as trump is a global embarrassment. But go ahead declare ten emergencies. Look forward to dems having emergencies over global warming & gun restrictions..
